Syama System Overview Major Components
PHASE 1: MINE DIGITALISATION
Phase 1 capability delivers the completed control room with connection to the underground wireless network and the ability to schedule, control and monitor MANUAL underground activities in real-time.
PHASE 2: AUTONOMOUS PRODUCTION AND HAULAGE
Phase 2 capability delivers AUTOMATED LHD and DRILL production on the levels and AUTONOMOUS TRUCK haulage from the 1055 level to the surface ROM
Mine-wide Wireless Network Mine Scheduling, Control, Visualisation and Optimisation Suite Surface Control Room Production Level Automation (LHD / Drill Automation) Automated Haulage (Truck Loop)

Syama System Overview Phase 1: Mine Digitalisation
Control Room + Network + OptiMine = Efficiency
The 2 Declines and the 1105 and 1130 production levels will be connected to the visualisation system in the control room
==> picture [636 x 195] intentionally omitted <==
Benefits of the visualisation system include:
-
Visualisation of mine and fleet (equipped with tracking units)
-
Efficiency gains for production fleet
-
Production gains for haulage fleet fitted with OptiMine units
-
Remote production drilling
-
Real time production data
-
Real time dispatch
-
Effective cave management

Syama System Overview Phase 2: Autonomous Haulage and Production
Automated Haulage Loop – The Main Game
-
The Automated Haulage Loop is the “Main Game” in terms of the Syama Underground Mine’s delivered benefit from innovation
-
The Automated Haulage loop enables Resolute to haul ore 24 hours a day / 7 days a week
-
Traffic is managed by a centralised server which increases throughput relative to manual hauling
-
Segregated autonomous decline with passing bays where the autonomous trucks make their way to the surface
-
Higher production rates over more hours per day = more tonnes
